Whispering Poems

Chapter 3280 New Course
Doctor Schneider, with his back to Shade, was reaching out to help Priest Augustus suppress the soul reaction in the magic sword. Maybe he couldn't compare to Priest Augustus in the delicate soul manipulation, but he was an expert in playing with and punishing souls:

"Things like fate are the most difficult to understand. It is incredible that the five of us came all the way from the city tonight. If the story of fate has already begun, then our appearance tonight must not be accidental."

"Is the fortune teller attracted by fate?"

Father Augustus asked, actually he wanted to ask if the chosen one this time was Luvia.

Xiade looked at Luvia. The purple-eyed girl smiled and shook her head:

"I don't know either. Fate is unpredictable. Anything can happen."

She looked at the snake skin carefully, as if she was looking at some priceless treasure.

While the doctor and the priest were dealing with the magic sword, Shad took Dorothy and Luvia out for a trip. He certainly didn't want to continue tracking the swords, nor did he want to do anything crazy with the girls on this cold snowy night. Instead, he took them all the way up to the hidden area where Sylvia's tower was.

The tower was located on the ridge of the side peak of the Fatumunster Snow Mountain. If Shad didn't have the tower key "lent" to him by Sylvia, he wouldn't be able to enter that area even if he found it.

The key glowed faintly in the darkness. After Shade pointed it at the air in front of him and turned it, the old stairs appeared one by one in front of him. The girls looked around curiously, and then Shade led them to the remains of the low wall. After stepping on three tiles, the entrance to the underground opened.

Next, Dorothy and Luvia recorded the "road signs" here together, so that it would not be a waste of this trip to the Fatumunster Snow Mountain.

It was easy for the five people to return to Tobesk from here. Dorothy could go directly through the [Space Maze], while Shad threw out the crystal slippers and took Luvia, the doctor and the priest back in three trips. It was close to midnight, so although it took such a long distance to teleport people, the spirit consumed was not as much as during the day.

By the time they were done with everything, it was almost eleven o'clock that night when they returned home. Although all five of them had returned, they had not brought back the magic sword Shade, but had hidden it in the small auditorium.

On the one hand, he didn't want to keep this thing in his home, and on the other hand, he wanted to test the effect of the priest and doctor's "soul seal" on the magic sword. It was better for the sword to be taken away than for the other party to know the address of the Shade family directly, or to break into the town of Kyle-Todd and start a massacre.

In short, although there were some twists and turns, tonight's operation was still smooth. Luvia thanked everyone for their help and distributed the rewards prepared in advance to the four people - even if the relationship is good, asking for help cannot be free. This is the rule set by Mr. Shelf Tim, the previous team leader of the doctor.

The doctor felt very sorry though, as he had brought out the [Thirsty Blood Lamp] he had just acquired as a healing relic specifically for this mission, but it was a pity that it did not play any role.

"Is this a good thing? My [Twenty-Sided Dice of Destiny] is said to be able to interfere with the effects of other dice-type relics after it was fused with similar relics. I brought it with me on purpose, but it didn't work, did it?"

Shade said with a smile, and the doctor, the priest and Dorothy left quickly, while Luvia stayed because she wanted to discuss the new snake skin with Shade. Of course, Dorothy said she was leaving, but she came back ten minutes later:

"There is no witch at home tonight, Luvia is not feeling well, and I happen to be still at home so late, so I have no reason to go back now."

It was already late, and the three of them discussed the topic of the snake skin and then decided to rest. The main topic of the discussion was not the source of the snake skin, but if the snake skin was to be used, who should be given it to?

Luvia hopes to find a loyal and reliable "character" who is different from Claire Reinhardt, and use the other party's information to infer the hidden meaning of the contents displayed on the snake skin.

"Can't you just come by yourself?"

The blonde curled up in Shade's arms said with a smile. Luvia, who was sitting on the short sofa, shook her head. The firelight from the fireplace illuminated her profile.

"I don't want to directly participate in the story of the island for the time being. It's better to find someone who is already in the story. Although the witch apprentice is definitely loyal, it's a pity that her importance is probably not as high as that of the witch. How about Elder Harald?"

She asked for Xia De's opinion, but Xia De didn't care:
"As long as you don't choose me and Mia, I have no objection to others choosing me. But you should keep the snake slough for now. I don't think you can study it thoroughly in just one or two days. If possible, you'd better divine the origin of the snake. I just checked and the cave where it appeared has completely disappeared."

Luvia nodded slightly, then complained to Dorothy:

"You know I'm not feeling well today, so don't do that with Xia De in front of me. You guys go to the bedroom, I'll take Mia to sleep upstairs."

"Luvia, I can't handle Shade alone."

The blonde writer said sweetly.

"You can swap positions with Leicia in the midfield. You can be as good as two people."

She stood up, but asked Xia De in a low voice:

"But if you feel like it's a bit empty to sleep with just a girl, you can come find me at night."

Dorothy laughed and kissed Shad affectionately on the side of his face:
"Our knight is really loved by everyone. Oh, Leisia is already urging me, so let's get started now."

(Iluna is praying.)

After waking up early on Saturday morning, Shad looked at the familiar ceiling and originally wanted to get up and eat in a hurry, but when he thought that he didn't need to go to the snow mountain today, he hugged Luvia and Dorothy comfortably and took a short nap with Luvia and Leicia.

But he didn't delay for too long, after all, the princess had to return to Yodel Palace when it was time to wash up. She kissed Shad goodbye reluctantly, and then exchanged with Dorothy.

The blonde writer had nothing to do today, so she was still sleepy when she came back, and Luvia had even gone to prepare breakfast.

"I won't have breakfast. Let me sleep a little longer, Shade."

Dorothy often had to work on her manuscripts at different times, so it was common for her to skip breakfast when she lived alone in her apartment. But this was 6 St. Teresa's Square, so Shad certainly wouldn't let her sleep in:
"Then I'll hold you and help you wash your face and brush your teeth."

"Ok."

She lay lazily in Xia De's arms, enjoying the weekend rest.

So Shad really carried Dorothy to the bathroom, and during the trip he did not forget to greet Luvia who was humming a song in the kitchen while preparing breakfast, and the cat who was standing on the dining table and wagging its tail.

But five or six minutes after they entered the bathroom, Luvia heard Dorothy's scream. She looked out with the spatula and the cat, and saw Shad being driven out of the bathroom by Dorothy.

"What's going on here?"

The purple-eyed girl asked with a smile, and Shade told the truth:

"She didn't want to move even when I carried her to the bathroom, so I helped her do what she was supposed to do in the bathroom. At first, washing her face and brushing her teeth was fine, and she seemed to like it, but after that, well, she seemed very shy."

The fortune teller thought for a moment before she understood what he was talking about. As she pursed her lips and tensed her face, her entire face turned red because of her guess:

"You're such a pervert."

After saying that, she went back to the kitchen without looking back. In fact, she didn't want Xia De to see her blushing face.

No one mentioned the matter at the breakfast table, but after breakfast Dorothy returned to her own apartment, intending to meet the others at the doctor's in the afternoon.

Luvia didn't have to be on duty this Saturday, so she started studying the strange snake skin at Shad's place. However, they didn't get much until they took a carriage to the doctor's psychological clinic after lunch.

This group meeting was the first one after the exam week. As usual, everyone is very relaxed at this time of year, after all, the school has just started and the learning workload is not heavy.

So the afternoon meeting was just a discussion of everyone's skipping courses for the semester, which didn't last long. And when Dorothy went home with Shad, she seemed to still be bothered by what happened in the morning, because Shad saw that she hadn't spoken a word.

When he later apologized, the blonde girl exclaimed:
"Really? Who would keep thinking about that? I was discussing the content of tonight's night class with Leicia. The year-end festival is over, and the new class of 1855 is about to start, right?"

"A new fairy tale? I actually have an idea myself. I've been traveling near the snowy mountains recently. Maybe this time, I can choose a fairy tale that has something to do with 'snow'."

"It seems that the three of us really have a common mind. Yes, although the theme is not 'snow', the story does involve snow."

Since the meeting ended early, Dorothy asked Shad to accompany her to the Steambird Daily newspaper office before evening. The two of them then had a leisurely meal outside with the cat, and then they walked the cat back home along the Silver Cross Avenue, which was just lit up with lights.

Since today is Saturday, no one else will appear here. This is the tacit understanding of all the girls around Xia De.

When the two of them sat down at the desk in the study, the warm yellow light from the gas lamp on the table illuminated the fur on the back of Mia, who was already lying down, and Dorothy opened the file bag that Leicia had just "delivered" to her:

"Before the end of the year, Lecia and I discussed the topics for the new year's courses. We each selected three topics and then discussed the pros and cons of each topic together. It was only last week that we finally decided on what to teach you."
